Bluegrass tribute to Bob Seeger
Cornbread Red has a new CD of bluegrass tributes, this one for rock music legend Bob Seger. Runnin’ Against The Wind features their take on Seger classics like Night Moves, We’ve Got Tonight, Like A Rock and Against The Wind.
Cornbread Red likes to refer to themselves as “the Steely Dan of bluegrass,” a reference to the successful pop act whose two primary writers spend most of their time in the studio carefully crafting their music.
The band consists of Stan Dailey on bass and lead vocals, Mark Whitehead on mandolin and guitar, Mark Scott on banjo and Dennis Clifton on resonator guitar. They have recorded a number of similar projects for CMH records, including tributes to Aerosmith, Nickelback and Maroon 5.
You can hear audio samples from Runnin’ Against The Wind in iTunes.

I recently heard one of bluegrass's BEST kept secrets, HARVEST WIND. I love bluegrass music and consider myself picky on what I like to hear and what I don't. I heard Harvest Wind at a school in Princeton, W.Va. I was AMAZED to say the least. WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN? They are from somewhere in N.C., I bought...
